I'm keeping the Lang and my other 4 smokers, but have added a Rec-Tec RT-340 Pellet Smoker to my stable for small, family cooks. I'm looking forward to being able to sit in the pool with a bourbon and cigar while monitoring/controlling the smoker thru wifi!

High-Tech Redneck is I!

Thanks Jonathan for the recommendation! I am impressed with the construction of this unit! Solidly built, stainless steel and powder coated construction, and setup was actually pretty easy. Tonight is pork chops and hot links, tomorrow first rack of ribs!

I really enjoyed getting acquainted with The Dark Side this weekend. I still love the "craftsmanship" that it takes to cook with my log burner, but it sure was nice sitting back in the pool with my lady, a nice drink, a fine cigar, and just letting the smoker do all the work! One more weapon in the arsenal!

Riley approved too!

Looks amazing, Steve! And what a good boy to have by your side. We had to say goodbye to our 12 year old boxer recently. He was my cigar smoking and BBQ companion for many years. Boxers are one of a kind.

Did a brisket for the first time this weekend. It was listed as a "full brisket" and was shaped like a normal one, but it was very very small. Either way, the cook was great, wrapped in foil at 160, but I went a bit heavy on seasoning. Tried a new rub.

Lu's Snow Pea recipe, and yes, they are awesome! She and I have been talking about reviving my old "private chef/catering" side gig, OldChurchBBQ, but probably with a new identity, and those will definitely be on the sides menu
